More and more students each year are choosing to attend a digital school rather than the traditional “brick and mortar” school for their K-12 school coursework. Digital schools offer maximum flexibility for students because courses are available 24 hours a day. Sometimes, digital schools become the option of choice for students who have not been successful in a traditional environment for a variety of reasons.

Nordonia Hills City Schools now has a digital academy like Ohio Virtual Academy, Ohio Connection Academy, and others.

Digital Knights Options

Three options are available for current Nordonia students in the Digital Knights program.

Full-Time, Non-Traditional 5-12 Students

Any student coming to Nordonia Hills City School District from an established online school (Ohio Connections Academy, Ohio Virtual Academy, etc.) will be accepted into the Digital Knights program after successfully completing the registration process. Current Nordonia students interested in this option will need to be referred to the program by their guidance counselor.

Elective Courses

While Nordonia High School has a wide offering of courses, we recognize that a student may want to take a course that is not offered, or be bound by a scheduling conflict. The Digital Knights program works with several different vendors to offer a seemingly endless number of courses in all disciplines. Students are responsible for all fees associated with these courses.

In the event that a Nordonia High School student has failed a course, the Digital Knights can provide an opportunity for those credits to be recovered though an online curriculum. Students are responsible for all fees associated with these courses.

Credit Recovery and Electives

This portion of the Digital Knights Program is available only for current Nordonia High School students. High School students interested in taking a class for credit recovery or an elective course not offered at NHS, fill out the application below and schedule an appointment with your guidance counselor.
